文档介绍：Conversations between AIDS counsellors and their clients bring delicate
and potentially threatening issues into play. In this study Anssi Perakyla
applies the principles of conversation analysis to his exploration of AIDS
counselling, using data from video-recorded counselling sessions in a
London teaching hospital. He meticulously analyses this data to show
how various questioning techniques - in this case arising from the Milan
School Family Systems Theory - operate in these situations, and how coun-
sellors attempt through the design and placement of their questions to
achieve the co-operation of their clients, with varying ess. His conclu-
sions provide a timely and illuminating insight into the management of a
sensitive topic through various techniques of indirectness.
